The Schlachte Method is a certified curriculum designed to assist all children regardless of their abilities or disabilities, strengths or weakness, to learn and reap the benefits of a classical ballet education. The methodology uses a wide variety of teaching styles to accommodate all modes of learning and to strengthen each skill set area in all children. In summary, The Schlachte Method believes that every child is an individual and, as such, will work with each child individually to assist them in reaching their goals. Individual goals will be designed with the student, family, and teacher to help students get the most out of each class. Believing that children learn not only from their teacher but also from individual mentors, the method utilizes volunteer mentors to work with each student in class to help them stay focused and achieve their individual goals.
